offline defrag of exchange
Hi lads
I have an exchange server with a database of 50GB
I have 3 drives C:\ with 35GB free space and E:\ with 40GB of free space and F:\ with 600GB free space
C:\ is the system drive
E:\ is the drive with the exchange database
F:\ is an ISCSI drive from a NAS Server
I am trying to do an offline defrag of exchange
I am running the following command
E:\"program files"\exchsrvr\bin\eseuti
this command runs ok but there is not enough space on C:\ to hold the temp database
is there a way to run this command that will write the Temp database to F:\ and allow the defrag to finish ok
thanks for any help

hi lads
I have looked at /p
this is Microsoft’s explanation of it
"Retains and preserves the original uncompacted database in its original location and stores the new compacted database in the default file Exchsrvr\Bin\Tempdfrg.edb.
does this mean that after defrag is finished it will still use the original uncompacted database and then write the new database to E:\progra~1\exchsrvr\mdbda

It will create the temp database wherever you point it using /t
The extract you have read is if you ONLY use /p

In other words your original database will be in the original location, and defrayed database wherever you put it with /p
